There really isn't one. The closest would be Jim Brown, who was the dominant player when the NFL exploded in popularity.

Brown, Lombardi, Montana would all be under consideration. In 30 years we may be saying Brady.

Stone Cold was the biggest star when the "the sport" was most popular. No different than Jordan or Gretzky.

Oh and at Joe Montana.
